The chance to apply to be the next England manager has now gone.
Friday 2 August was the deadline set by The FA to put your application in.
Eddie Howe has been the bookies favourite pretty much ever since Gareth Southgate announced he was stepping down.
Whilst the countdown was on to apply for the job of England manager, Eddie Howe was out in Japan this past week preparing for the new season with his Newcastle United players.
Whilst out in Japan, the Newcastle United Head Coach quizzed yet again about whether he would be the next boss of England and abandon Newcastle United…
Eddie Howe asked about media claims he will be the next England manager – 30 July 2024:
“I have had no contact whatsoever from anybody [regarding the England job].
“I am fully committed to Newcastle United.
“There is nothing to talk about.
“I do not need to address the players.
“They know by how I act.
“They can see how I am on a daily basis, to see how committed I am to the club.”
It now looks like this has finally sunk in, at least for bookies and punters.
These latest generally available odds from the various bookies, seeing Eddie Howe no longer favourite for the job, not even second favourite…
5/2 Graham Potter
11/4 Lee Carsley
5/1 Eddie Howe
14/1 Mauricio Pochettino
14/1 Frank Lampard
20/1 Jurgen Klopp
25/1 Pep Guardiola
Nothing has ever changed for me, I always saw it as Graham Potter’s choice whether to take it or not, then if he says no, Lee Carsley for sure will step up from the Under 21s to senior England manager, the same route as Gareth Southgate took.
As the betting shows, there are no viable other candidates. Indeed, Eddie Howe is by default still third favourite, only because they have nobody else to try and get punters to back.
There is no way they will appoint somebody who is not English and the thought of Frank Lampard getting the job is beyond laughable, after his disastrous spells in club management.
